Cucurbita maximaThis excellent variety is similar to both Queensland Blue and Jarrahdale but has smoother skin with less ribbing and is flatter and rounder. It has excellent taste. This is a great pumpkin for all-round kitchen use and the qualities that make it different also make it easy to use in preparing meals. Yields well and easy to grow. Pumpkin seed should be sown 1.0-2.0cm deep directly into the garden in richly composted soil. Space the plants 1m apart in rows 1.5m apart. Sow three weeks after the last frost has passed in Cold and Temperate areas and from September to February in Tropical and Subtropical areas. Pumpkins do very well when a nitrogen fixing plant, such as clover or bean plants are grown with them. pumpkins tahe at least 21 days to fully ripen once picked so storage until fully ripe will enhance pumpkin flavour. If pumpkins are hit by a frost then they will not store as long as unfrosted pumpkins.
